Fans React to Candiace Dillard Bassett’s Baby Bump
Dillard Bassett’s red carpet photos saw her sporting a red Hervé Léger dress with silver accents and jewelry to match. Her hair was parted in the middle and fell straight down, with an ombré effect as it changed from dark brown at the roots to a lighter brown at the ends.

Candiace Dillard Bassett Shared a ‘Bumpdate’
Dillard Bassett went live on Instagram on April 22 to share a pregnancy update with her fans and followers. “Hey y’all, this is going to be a quick live,” Dillard Bassett said at the top of the 55-minute video.
Dillard Bassett noted that since her pregnancy announcement, fans have been stopping her all the time with unsolicited advice and even some baby name suggestions. “Thank you everyone for your well-wishes and for loving on me and us. All of us. Yeah, it’s been crazy.” She went on to share that she was most excited to join the “mom village” she sees around her, especially with her millennial mother friends.
Dillard Bassett shared some of her pregnancy symptoms, which she said didn’t arise until she entered her second trimester. “I’m not debilitatingly nauseous, thank god, knock on some wood. But it is disruptive, and it’s annoying, and it’s constant. And if I don’t eat, it’s worse.”
Dillard Bassett also shared one of her baby name ideas from growing up that she decided she wouldn’t be using with her baby, Mackenzie.
